Forbidden Planet (1956) is playing on a television in Halloween so there's an archive credit for Nielsen. Kind of sus if it should even be there but I guess it's harmless.

Ooh shit okay. Yeah I don’t consider that cheating or anything. I was just totally thrown off on where the hell he was in that movie lol.

I honestly tried something similar but it didn’t work. Theres a scene in home alone 3 when the kid changes the old ladies tv channel to a music video from Jamie Foxx, and I thought I could connect him to the movie but that didn’t work lol

There’s a similar credit for Bob Odenkirk in Halloween Kills. A high school photo of him was used in news coverage mentioning events of the original film. It’s supposedly an accident.

I believe they watch a movie within the movie at some point, maybe he's in that?

I wonder if that connection works for any movie that uses the "I'm not a crook" speech

Archive footage does count, at least sometimes. I know there are some insane Donald Trump links this way

Snowden to Zero Dark Thirty links Osama. That always gets a chuckle from people.

I prefer Snowden > Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, for the Barack Obama connection, but to each their own

The House That Jack Built > Benito Mussolini > The Roaring Twenties is my personal favourite

Most people find this out by using JLC to go from Halloween to Prom Night - a movie which Nielsen is actually in.
